Inhaltsangabe:

This book is sure to become one of the most influential of modern times.

Its primary hypothesis is that Homo sapiens sapiens lived from the outset in tribes with tribal elders able to persuade others, and thence succeeding generations, to believe their ridiculous religious notions or to fight misguided wars. 

The Agricultural Revolution paved the way for the today’s consumer zombies easily persuaded to overindulge in often unnecessary, if not harmful, products. This has been a disaster which has damaged our environment and ourselves, one result being decreases in our IQ that have been observed throughout the last century.

Chapter 1 discusses the evolution of modern man and thence consumer zombies. The next 3 discuss language and learning, conditioning, memory, attitude formation & measurement, and the contact hypothesis of ethnic conflict.

Following chapters discuss religion, war, art, science, industry, education, politics, business, the media, advertising, and economics, showing that in each of these we are persuaded or ‘brainwashed’ into ‘buying’ some message or product.

The final chapters discuss

(a) Global problems such as overpopulation, pollution, and resource depletion.

(b) Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism afflicting so much of the world today.

(c) The threat of biochemical warfare posed by such groups as IS.

(d) World War 3, that is, decades of increasing global Islamic terrorism.

(e) The reverse evolution decreasing us both physically and mentally.

(f) Some solutions to these growing problems that threaten our very existence.

Reader’s comments have included: This book is sure to become one of the most influential of modern times; - your treatise – is genius;  A must read for anyone seriously concerned;  I like your writing style; and The Islam mystery to me is that the original leader was by all accounts such a violent fellow, yet the religion is supposed to spout peace and good will to all.
